The Pasifika Campaign Fund

Pacific, Mainstream and Māori Family Violence Provider Capability Fund
The Pacific, Mainstream and Māori Family Violence Provider Capability Fund ('the Fund') aims to build the capability of Pacific practitioners including Pacific and non-Pacific staff who deliver family violence services and programmes in the family violence sector.
The Fund is targeting two categories
1. The first category and priority group will be building the capability of Pacific providers of family violence services and programmes. This is so they can sustain and/or build their operations with a distinctive Pacific focus. These providers have already been identifed in the Pacific family violence provider stocktake report.
2. The second priority group the funding is for is Mainstream and Māori providers who can demonstrate that they deliver and/or tailor services and programmes to Pacific victims of family violence, perpetrators and their families. Funding Mainstream and Maori family violence providers' staff capability is crucial if we are to ensure that they respond appropriately to the needs of Pacific peoples affected by family violence.
It is important to read the criteria and eligibility and apply on the correct application form.
Applications close on Friday, 21 September 2012.
